We really enjoyed this tour of Cannaregio and the Jewish quarter of Venice to the Rialto bridge on this walking tour with just 8 people. Our tour guide explained much about the history of Venice in a very interesting way as we walked around this area with few other tourists. He also offered to take photos of people in the group – something we appreciated. We would highly recommend this tour.
